About NetBackup security and encryption

NetBackup security and encryption provide protection for all parts of NetBackup operations on NetBackup primary servers, media servers, and attached clients. Also made secure are the operating systems on which the servers and clients are running. The backup data is protected through encryption processes and vaulting. NetBackup data that is sent over the network is protected by dedicated and secure network ports.

The various level and implementation of NetBackup security and encryption are included in the following topics.

See NetBackup security implementation levels.

See NetBackup Access Control (NBAC).

See Standard NetBackup security.
